in the senate, republicans rand paul and ted cruz are threatening to filibuster harry reid's debate on gun control legislation when the senate returns from easter recess. the debate will include votes on universal background checks and a separate push to ban assault weapons. so with all that in mind, mike, there's word the issue of gun legislation could inspire another filibuster even as president obama hits the road to promote change. >> no, that's right. "politico's" john allen got a letter on what the conservatives are going to deliver today. it's ted cruz of texas and mike lee of utah. they saw that the stand with rand filibuster covered the drone issue was so effective it not only gummed up the senate but also got huge street cred for rand paul among conservatives that they are going to try it again. and what they're trying to disarm here, what they're trying to defuse here is an effort to add amendments to this to tighten up the restrictions. so as you said in your set-up, the bill they're going to take up when they come back two weeks from now is going to be mostly about univers

we saw that play out this week, when senate majority leader harry reid dropped the assault weapons ban from the senate bill. that's not really a surprise, but it sort of underscores just how divisive this issue continues to be. now in the senate bill, it includes universal background checks as well as stiffer penalties for straw purchases as well as gun trafficking. but it's not clear that that piece of legislation will make its way through senate, or certainly through the house. so this is really tough slogging going forward. so mayor michael bloomberg sort of rolling out what he hopes will be a counterweight to the nra, that $12 million ad campaign, which you mentioned. it's going to air in 13 states, really targeting senators who he believes he might be able to sway to vote yes on this legislation. but, of course, a big question mark there, because you have the nra, you have democrats who live in red states, and of course you have republicans who are not in favor of these stiffer gun control laws. it continues to be a very divisive issue, craig, and really tough to get through both
